More US occupation soldiers are getting killed in Afghanistan.
Four soldiers serving under the NATO have been killed in a bomb blast in Panjwayi district in Kandahar province, south of the country on Sunday, the alliance said Monday.
"Four ISAF, International Security Assistance Force, service members from the United States died yesterday following an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) strike in southern Afghanistan," the ISAF statement said.
The blast deaths come after seven US CIA agents were killed last Wednesday when a bomber blew himself up inside a military base in eastern Khost province.
Taliban spokesman Yousuf Ahmadi told AFP from an unknown location that the group claims responsibility for the IED attack. According to AFP, Ahmadigave the same location of the IED strikes as the police official.
Sunday's fatalities were the first reported occupation military deaths in Afghanistan this year, after the number of killed US occupation soldiers soared in 2009, the deadliest year since the 2001 US-led invasion.
